The Sauna360 recalls: every brand and model affected

The short version: there are two separate Sauna360 recalls and they are easy to confuse. The larger one, CPSC 26-784 of 17 September 2026, covers infrared saunas, hybrid saunas and infrared kits whose panels can short circuit and overheat - about 41,580 units in the US and 6,758 in Canada, sold from May 2013 all the way to July 2026. The smaller one, CPSC 26-040 of 23 October 2025, covers Tylo Halmstad and Kiruna Hybrid cabins whose benches can collapse. Different hazards, different model lists, different phone numbers, and one model family - the Kiruna Hybrid - that appears on both. If you bought a mid-range infrared cabin from Costco or a pool and spa dealer in the last decade, the odds that it is on one of these lists are not small.

Why you may not realize this is your sauna

This is the part that matters most, and it is the reason we built this page. Sauna360 is a supplier, not a logo on a cabin. It sells through a group of brands with long histories and no obvious connection to each other: its own brand pages describe Tylo as Swedish with more than 75 years behind it, Helo as running since 1919, Kastor as the oldest sauna brand in Finland founded in the winter of 1916, plus Finnleo and Amerec. Somebody who bought a Finnleo in 2017, or a Radiant Health Pause last year, is not watching for a Sauna360 recall notice.

The recall list makes that concrete. Eight different brand names appear on recall 26-784 - Finnleo, Helo, Radiant Health, Sauna360, Saunatec, Tylo, Tylohelo, and a set of units with no brand at all. Sauna360's own site gives its location as Cokato, Minnesota, and CPSC lists the products as manufactured in China. One more detail we will report and not interpret: the footer of Sauna360's site links a Masco Corporation supply chain disclosure, and the site does not explain that relationship anywhere we could read.

Recall 26-784 — infrared panels that can overheat

That sales window is the striking number. May 2013 to July 2026 is thirteen years of production, which is why the unit count is so large and why the model list runs to well over a hundred SKUs. If you have owned an infrared cabin from any of these brands at any point in the last decade, it is worth two minutes with the list below.

Recall 26-040 — Tylo benches that can collapse

The second recall is smaller, older and more physical. CPSC 26-040, published 23 October 2025, states that the saunas "contain a bench that can collapse, posing a fall hazard to consumers". About 1,000 units, with seven reports of benches breaking, including one consumer with head and neck injuries. These were sold from July through December 2024 for between $6,000 and $12,000 through various distributors nationwide. The remedy is a professional retrofit that adds hardware to the bench, plus a revised manual that states weight limits.

The Kiruna Hybrid is on both lists

Worth isolating, because it is the one model family exposed to both hazards. The Tylo Kiruna Hybrid appears on recall 26-784 for its infrared panels (as Kiruna Hybrid 2-15, 2-20 and 3) and on recall 26-040 for its bench (as Kiruna Hybrid 2 and 3). The Hybrid is the interesting model in Tylo's range precisely because it combines a wood-fired or electric stove with Carbonflex infrared emitters in one cabin, and Carbonflex is itself named on the infrared recall. Our Tylo sauna review covers the range on its published specifications; read it alongside this page rather than instead of it.

What the remedy tells you, and what it does not

The published fix on the infrared recall is new circuit boards and fuses, fitted in your home. That points at the control and protection side of the system rather than the emitters themselves, which is consistent with a short-circuit-and-overheat failure mode - but we are reading a remedy description, not an engineering report, and CPSC does not publish a root-cause analysis. Two things follow that are worth saying plainly. A repair is not a refund, so if you want out of the product rather than into a repair queue, that is a conversation with the retailer and your own judgment, not a recall entitlement. And 67 reports across 41,580 units is a low rate that is not the same as a low consequence - the hazard named is fire, and the instruction is to stop using it until it is fixed.

What to check on any infrared sauna

The transferable lesson here is not about one supplier. Infrared cabins are electrical appliances that run warm for hours in a humid room, and the recall list shows how little the brand on the door tells you about who built the electronics. Four things we would check before buying anything in this category:

• A named safety listing with a standard number. "Low EMF" and "certified" are marketing; UL, ETL or CSA with a standard reference is a claim you can check. Most listings in this category publish neither - see what low EMF actually means.
• Published panel wattage and the circuit it needs. A maker who will not tell you the draw is a maker whose installation requirement you cannot plan. Our infrared sauna installation guide covers what a legitimate spec looks like.
• Who actually supplies it. The brand, the importer and the manufacturer are frequently three different companies, and the recall notice names the importer, not the logo. That is exactly why these notices get missed.
• A parts channel. A free in-home repair only exists because a supplier with a US presence was there to run it. A cabin from an anonymous listing has no equivalent, which is a real if unglamorous argument for buying from someone with a name and an address.

If you would rather replace it than repair it

Some owners will not want a repaired sauna in the house whatever the remedy says, and that is a legitimate position. The picks below are infrared cabins in the same two-to-four-person class, all currently listed and priced, none of them a Sauna360 brand. One thing to note honestly while you compare: the recalled units sold for $6,000 to $13,000, and these sit well below that, which reflects a genuine difference in channel and build rather than a bargain - the recalled cabins were dealer and Costco products with installation and service behind them. Our Costco sauna buying guide covers that channel difference, and best 4-person infrared saunas goes deeper on the size class.

Our position

We have not tested any sauna on this page, recalled or otherwise, and we are not in a position to tell you whether your specific unit is dangerous. What we can do is put both notices in one place with the full model lists, because CPSC publishes them separately, the brand names do not match the supplier name, and the people most at risk of missing a notice are the ones who bought a Finnleo or a Helo years ago from a dealer who is no longer in business. Check the model label against the lists above. If it is there, use the phone numbers in the first callout rather than ours.

Every pick on this page comes from published specifications, not from hardware we own. Read how we pick — including what spec-led ranking cannot tell you.
